"Allen’s singing in Butterworth’s ‘Is my team ploughing?’ is exquisite, and beautifully recorded. This isn’t ‘interpretation’ – the song simply comes to life..." -- Stephen Johnson, BBC Music Magazine

"Peel’s evocative ‘Bredon Hill’ is marvellously delivered by Thomas Allen" -- John Quinn, MusicWeb International
